We have two businesses: Telko and ESL Shipping. Our experts support our customers with solutions tailored to the demands of the B2B landscape.
Telko is a leading distributor and solutions provider of plastics, industrial chemicals and lubricants, operating in 18 countries. The company’s success is built on long‑term customer relationships, the representation of leading principals and solid expertise. Telko helps its customers improve production lead times, material efficiency and performance.
In recent years, Telko has built a strong local presence in its markets, with Northern Europe becoming the company’s established core region. Following strategic acquisitions, Sweden is now Telko’s largest operating country. Acquisitions have strengthened Telko’s position overall in Western Europe.
At product level, Telko focuses on customer‑driven solutions with higher added value.
ESL Shipping is the leading carrier of dry bulk cargo in the Baltic Sea, serving customers operating for example in steel and forest industries. ESL Shipping has a unique ability to develop and provide reliable infrastructure for the ice-bound Nordic industrials investing in the green transition.
ESL Shipping is a true forerunner in sustainable development and is making significant investments in energy‑efficient, next‑generation vessels. Together with its Swedish subsidiary AtoB@C Shipping, ESL Shipping currently operates approximately 40 vessels.
ESL Shipping holds a strong position particularly in the Bothnian Bay region, where there is also considerable potential to grow alongside its customers.
